“You were the Governor of Cross Rivers when Bakasi was seceded to Cameroon, you couldn’t do nothing because you were not a local champion... If you claim you don't know me, I don't likewise know you…”
If you decide to give our left over of about 700,000 barrels crude to refineries at cost of production in the name of subsidy, the question is; how are you going to fund workers salaries, fund the military and police, build roads, build hospitals and manage health crisis?

Listening to this man always give me joy. Chai! The man is exceptionally brilliant .
At its deepest root, inflation is a monetary problem. Too much money chasing too few goods. Nigeria printed ₦30 trillion between 2015 and 2023. It drove up inflation and crashed the value of the Naira.
You can now see the reason again why the government doesn't just push up the minimum wage. For example, paying a ₦750,000 minimum wage will lead to massive inflation.
I would like the developers of the game to include a BDC where you can change your money to Dollars. So that you can see the impact of too many people with Naira chasing a few dollars in the BDC market. You will see in real time how a currency value collapses when everyone wants to exchange it for dollars.
This was what happened to the Naira; everyone was speculating and everyone had a domiciliary account to keep FX. Nobody wanted to save in Naira. This is one of the reasons why the CBN had to increase interest rates.
Also, when the government pegs the value of the exchange rate, and there is no FX in the CBN reserve to back the value up, the black market rate shoots up. If the government fails to move the peg, the government will have to print money to cover the shortfall.
For example, if the CBN sold $10 billion to defend the peg at ₦400 while the black market rate is ₦750, the CBN gets ₦4 trillion instead of ₦7.5 trillion. Meanwhile, the ₦3.5 trillion, which is the black market arbitrage, vanishes into the pockets of speculators, politicians, and bankers engaging in round-tripping.
To make up for this shortfall in revenue, the Federal Government has to either borrow or fall back on the CBN printing money.
Nigeria rose four places to eighth in the 2026 Bloomberg Economics Investment Risk-O-Meter, overtaking Rwanda, Tanzania, Kenya and Namibia as reforms improved its performance across three of the five metrics assessed.
Mr. President, Sir.
On behalf of the men and women in uniform thank you Sir.
Thank you for the pay increase. Thank you for the new formations in Zamfara, Kebbi, Oyo, and Osun. Thank you for the barracks and depots in Abuja, Ekiti, Ebonyi, and Kogi. Thank you for remembering that behind every soldier is a family waiting at home.
You said something that many leaders never say: "Every deployment is a sacrifice made by a family too."
Sir, that sentence alone tells us you understand. You understand that when a soldier leaves his home at 4 a.m., his wife wakes up to an empty bed. You understand that when a soldier falls in the bush, a mother loses a son, a child loses a father. You understand that the uniform is worn by one man, but carried by an entire family.
This is what leadership looks like. Not just giving orders. Not just declaring wars. But standing behind the people who fight them. Supporting the families who wait. And investing in the future of the force.
We see the new barracks. We see the new formations. We see the salary alerts. And we are grateful.
But sir, we also ask for one more thing: keep going. Keep building. Keep equipping. Keep listening. Because the journey is not yet finished. And the enemy is still out there.
To the Commander-in-Chief we salute you. We appreciate you. And we will continue to serve with everything we have.
Nigeria will prevail. And you will not fight alone.
God bless the Armed Forces of Nigeria. God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Welcome to Class.

Talking about housing facility, he has implemented MREIF (the Ministry of Finance Incorporated Real Estate Investment Fund) which enables people to access mortgage facility; which offers single-digit, fixed interest rates (around 9.75% per annual and which are much lower than standard commercial bank rates. Repayment Tenure: Long-term mortgage repayment periods spanning up to 20 years and you can access upto 100,000,000 depending on your financial institution and credit worthiness.
Many Nigerians are silently keying into it. I have also advised a number of clients on this opportunity.
He asked everyone who they would vote for; he didn't ask why for Atiku, but when he got to PBAT, he asked why, thinking the guy wouldn't give him a good response...😃😃. The guy schooled him.
The lady's response is typical of the delusional responses from the man's supporters.
Everyone in Nigeria has a location. Now every location has a postcode.
Today, NIPOST launches the National Digital Postcode System, and I’m speaking to you from the heart of it: our new GIS lab, where every corner of Nigeria is being mapped and coded.
No more “turn left after the blue gate.” Your postcode connects you to deliveries, e-commerce, emergency services, banking and government services, wherever you are.
After a successful pilot in Abuja, it’s now live nationwide.

Nigeria has achieved its highest-ever representation in the Times Higher Education World University Rankings, with 29 universities featured in the 2027 edition up from 24 in 2026, making it the most represented country in Sub-Saharan Africa.
Nigeria’s move towards a credit-based economy is strategically important. NCGC has issued ₦21.59bn in guarantees, enabling ₦46.95bn in loans to 67,512 borrowers. The leverage is significant: every ₦1 in guarantees has unlocked about ₦2.17 in credit. More importantly, 33.5% of beneficiaries are first-time formal borrowers.
This is how financial inclusion can become economic infrastructure. But the real measure of success will be what these loans produce: businesses that expand, workers who gain employment, borrowers who build credible credit histories and enterprises that become bankable without government guarantees. Credit guarantees should open the door to finance; productivity and repayment must keep that door open.
Our government cannot be trusted but some conversation can be entrusted using basic public finance.
If government says fuel subsidy would cost Nigeria ₦21 trillion a year, please understand what that actually means.
It does NOT mean ₦21 trillion is sitting in one government account somewhere.
Subsidy is a flow, not a bag of money.
If petrol costs ₦1,000 to supply but government wants Nigerians to buy it for ₦600, somebody has to absorb the ₦400 difference.
Where does government get that money?
From the same public resources it could have used elsewhere: oil revenue, Federation Account resources, taxes and other government revenue and, where necessary, borrowing. Infact we borrow almost 30-40% to service our budget for the past 10 years.
In Nigeria’s old system, the subsidy burden was largely absorbed through NNPC/petroleum revenues before the balance went into the Federation Account.
So when someone says, “If subsidy is ₦21tn, where is the ₦21tn?” that is the wrong question ilk of ignorance.
The real question is what public revenue would government sacrifice, and what would it have to borrow or stop funding, to maintain a ₦21tn-a-year subsidy?
Even the government’s recent explanation of the ₦15.8tn subsidy savings makes this distinction: it says the money was resources freed up, not ₦15.8tn sitting untouched in a special account.
Please, let’s discuss public finance with basic understanding before shouting “Where is the money?”. If you dont understand, do ask people or AI.
